Why brush the salt? Soak the paper for a minute or two and then hang to
dry.
When you brush the silver nitrate on, you need to be fairly generous -
don't try to spread it too far. Brush across and back, then up and down to
make sure. For this step use subdued light - avoid sun or other UV sources
or even some fluorescent may be a problem. Dry in a reasonably dark place
too.
